The main object of this study was to investigate which are the contributions that a sequence of activities and of methodologies developed for the teaching of Geometry could provide for a part of the functional literacy process in mathematics of youngsters and adults of EJA, corresponding to the acquisition or to the improvement of skills related to the orientation capacity. The focus of the analyses consisted in the practice of these activities with the young and adult students of an EJA class belonging to a municipal public school of Natal/RN. The legacies of Paulo Freire about the redimensioning of the role of the teacher, of the students, of the knowledge and of their connections within the teaching-learning process, prevailed in the actions of the methodology implemented in the classroom and, especially, in the establishing of dialogic connections with the students, which directed all the observations and analyses regarding the collected information. The results indicated that the composition of articulations between the teaching of mathematics and the exploration of maps and the earth globe enabled the creation of multidisciplinary learning environments and situations, where we could observe, gradually, the development of procedures and attitudes indicating the evolution of space-visual type skills / A disserta??o que se apresenta tem como pressuposto principal a prerrogativa de visualizar os processos de alfabetiza??o sob o ?ngulo da perspectiva funcional, fato que destitui o alfabetismo de ser uma pr?tica unicamente vinculada ? decodifica??o de c?digos alfab?ticos e permite a abertura de amplos espa?os para a aloca??o de habilidades matem?ticas nos dom?nios da alfabetiza??o funcional. O objetivo principal deste estudo foi investigar quais as contribui??es que uma seq??ncia de atividades e de metodologias elaboradas para o ensino de Geometria poderiam proporcionar a uma parcela do processo de alfabetiza??o funcional em matem?tica de jovens e adultos da EJA, correspondente ? aquisi??o ou ao aprimoramento de habilidades relativas ? capacidade de orienta??o. O foco das an?lises consistiu na efetiva??o dessas atividades junto aos alunos jovens e adultos de uma classe de EJA pertencente a uma escola p?blica municipal de Natal/RN. Prevaleceram os legados de Paulo Freire sobre o redimensionamento do papel do educador, dos educandos, do conhecimento e de suas conex?es dentro do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, nos encaminhamentos da metodologia utilizada na sala de aula e, principalmente, no estabelecimento de liga??es dial?gicas com os alunos, as quais direcionaram todas as observa??es e an?lises a respeito das informa??es obtidas. Os resultados indicaram que a composi??o de articula??es entre o ensino de matem?tica e a explora??o de mapas e do globo terrestre favoreceu a cria??o de ambientes e situa??es de aprendizagem multidisciplinares, onde verificamos, gradativamente, o desenvolvimento de procedimentos e atitudes indicativos da evolu??o de habilidades do tipo espa?o-visual
